This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

DKMS operates in the non-profit healthcare sector, targeting potential stem cell donors and supporters. Its business model revolves around donor registration and public awareness rather than commercial revenue. The organization benefits from a strong brand and market recognition in Germany. The website's technical infrastructure supports scalability and user engagement but lacks advanced marketing and analytics tools. There is no evidence of affiliate programs or advertising networks. The absence of detailed contact information and policies may limit user trust and regulatory compliance. DKMS could enhance its digital maturity by integrating comprehensive privacy and security disclosures and expanding its analytics capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. The site does not appear to use tracking or third-party scripts that could introduce risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be strengthened to meet higher compliance standards and user assurance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  5. Enhance analytics and marketing tools to better understand user engagement while maintaining privacy standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Gatsby) optimized for performance and SEO. It includes video playback capabilities via Video.js and is hosted on infrastructure likely provided by Deutsche Telekom, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good design quality. However, no CMS or third-party marketing/analytics platforms were detected in the provided content. The absence of security headers and privacy mechanisms suggests technical debt in compliance and security best practices. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through enhanced caching and security configurations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
